Splitting roommate expenses without the awkward conversations?

Rent, internet, electricity, the cleaner, that one Costco run. The math isn't hard - but chasing each other for €17 every month is exhausting. EvenRound turns 'who owes what' into a single number you can settle once a month.

A group trip without the spreadsheet?

Eight friends, three cities, two currencies, and one person volunteering to 'just track it for now'. By day four nobody trusts the spreadsheet. EvenRound is what that person actually wants.

What's the budget for a group trip to Lisbon?

Pasteis, port wine, and seven hills' worth of dinner bills to split.

How do I create my first group?

Go to /groups/new, pick a name and default currency, and share the link with whoever's splitting expenses with you. The whole flow takes about 30 seconds.

How to do this in EvenRound

01
Create a wedding group
Add both partners and any contributing parents or family members.
02
Agree the contribution split before logging anything
Write the agreement in the group description. 'Bride's parents: venue + catering. Groom's parents: photography. Couple: everything else.'
03
Log every payment with a category
Even small ones. The cake topper, the napkin samples. Wedding budgets sprawl - visibility is the whole point.
04
Use 'paid by X for category Y' to honour the agreement
If groom's parents are covering photography, set the photographer expense's split so 100% lands on them.
05
Reconcile monthly until the wedding, then once after
Don't wait for the wedding to settle. Monthly check-ins keep everyone aligned and surprise-free.

Worked example

A €30,000 wedding split across two families and the couple

Who paid	For	Amount
Bride's parents	Venue (deposit + balance)	€12,000
Groom's parents	Photography + flowers	€6,500
Couple	Catering, attire, music, misc	€11,500

Settlement plan

→ Settled in real time as expenses are logged - no end-of-wedding shock

Common pitfalls

Don't let one person be the 'tracker'. Everyone enters their own expenses or the data goes stale.
Document the split agreement in the group description, not in WhatsApp. Future arguments will reference it.
Set a soft budget per category. Wedding budgets sprawl when there's no ceiling on each line.

Categories give you a mini wedding budget tracker for free.
Recurring monthly settlements mean no one absorbs a surprise bill at the end.

Best for: couples and families splitting wedding costs across multiple contributors.
